The Ørsted Kalundborg CO₂ Hub is the first full-scale CCS value chain project in Denmark. From 2026, Ørsted will capture CO₂ at its Asnæs Power Station in Kalundborg and the Avedøre Power Station in Greater Copenhagen. The Ørsted Kalundborg CO₂ Hub will play a central role in the import and export of CO₂.
SLB Capturi is delivering five modular Just Catch™ 100 carbon capture plants, including additional equipment such as liquefaction systems, temporary CO₂ storage, and on-/offloading facilities.
The CO₂ captured from the straw- and woodchip-fired power stations will be transported to the Northern Lights storage reservoir in the Norwegian part of the North Sea.
The carbon capture plants are currently under construction. When operational, the carbon capture plants will collectively capture 430,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year.
The solution is based on a concept with the two-point sources:
1. Asnæs Power Station, wood chips boiler
2. Avedøre Power Station, straw boiler
The capture units absorb the CO2 with amine solvents, separating it from the flue gas from the heat and power plant. The CO2 is then purified, compressed, and liquefied, ready for transport. The carbon capture facilities are based on SLB Capturi’s Just Catch™ 100 modular capture plants with a standardized and compact design.
